Linux Boot Camp is taking place again 29 June - 1 July 2009 at UWE, Bristol.
The Linux Boot Camp is aimed at those, normally doing or having done A Levels, who want to do practical technical computing. We want you to get in touch with your inner geek!
The event will involve two and a half days of technical workshops exploring many aspects of modern technology and the use of free open source software. During the workshops you will learn how to revitalize your PC (or even resuscitate a dead one!) by installing and configuring Linux on it. Useful skills such as how to set up a home network and web server will be given. You could learn how to make your own router, or how to hack into various set-top boxes. At the end of the Linux Boot Camp you will be able to tap into the world of open source computing and maybe set yourself on a profitable and worthwhile career!
If you already know how to do some of this stuff, then don't despair, the structure of the Linux Boot Camp will allow you to explore advanced topics in system configuration.
The numbers are limited to about 60 places, so don't delay. There may be a small number of residential places available in UWE's stuent accommodation. If you are interested, please contact us to check on availability and cost. Social events will also be arranged.
As if that wasn't enough the Linux Boot Camp will give you the chance to experience what life could be like a Uni and will look great on your CV or UCAS form!
